Job 34:18
Compare all
16 “If you have understanding, hear this;
Listen to the sound of my words:
17 aShould one who hates justice govern?
Will you bcondemn Him who is most just? 
18 aIs it fitting to say to a king, ‘You are worthless,’
And to nobles, ‘You are wicked’? 
19 Yet He ais not partial to princes,
Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor;
For bthey are all the work of His hands. 
20 In a moment they die, ain the middle of the night;
The people are shaken and pass away;
The mighty are taken away without a hand. 
21 “Fora His eyes are on the ways of man,
And He sees all his steps. 
22 aThere is no darkness nor shadow of death
Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
